| [ The House of The Rising Sun ] |
| |
| There is a house in New Orleans |
| They call the Rising Sun |
| And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy |
| And God I know I'm one |
| |
| My mother was a tailor |
| She sewed my new blue jeans |
| My father was a gamblin' man |
| Down in New Orleans |
| |
| Now the only thing a gambler needs |
| Is a suitcase and trunk |
| And the only time he's satisfied |
| Is when he's on a drunk |
| |
| Oh mother tell your children |
| Not to do what I have done |
| Spend your lives in sin and misery |
| In the House of the Rising Sun |
| |
| Well, I got one foot on the platform |
| The other foot on the train |
| I'm goin' back to New Orleans |
| To wear that ball and chain |
| |
| Well, there is a house in New Orleans |
| They call the Rising Sun |
| And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy |
| And God I know I'm one |
| [ Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood ] |
| |
| Baby do you understand me now |
| Some time you seem a little mad |
| But don't you knowthat in your life |
| you'll always be an angel |
| And when things go wrong I seem a little mad |
| But I'm just a fool whose intentions are good |
| Oh Lord please don't let me be misunderstood |
| |
| You know sometimes baby I'm so carefree |
| With a joy it is hard to hide |
| Then sometimes seems all I have to do is worry |
| Then you're bound to see my other side |
| I'm just a fool whose intentions are good |
| Oh no please don't let me be misunderstood |
| |
| If I seem edgy I want you to know |
| That I never seem to take it out on you |
| When there's a problem then I get my share |
| But that's one thing I never need to do |
| And I love you oh, oh baby I'm just human |
| I have thoughts like any other boy |
| Sometimes I find myself alone regretting |
| The foolish things I shouldn't have done |
| |
| But I'm just a fool whose intentions are good |
| Oh Lord please don't let me be misunderstood |
| Yes I'm just a fool whose intentions are good |
| Oh Lord please don't let me be misunderstood |
| I'm just a fool whose intentions are good |
| Oh Lord please don't let me be misunderstood |
